Homeless encampment cleanup at Skid Row

SkyFOX was over the scene Monday of a homeless encampment cleanup in Skid Row.

A major cleanup effort was underway in downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row neighborhood Monday. 

SkyFOX images from the scene showed a heavy police presence with multiple Los Angeles Police Department officers and the Los Angeles Fire Department at the scene. Cleanup crews were seen sweeping and loading a large truck near San Pedro and 5th streets.

The area - where several tents were seen on the sidewalks - was cordoned off by traffic cones and police tape as a large truck was filled with boxes and other miscellaneous items. 

No other details were immediately available.
